front panel interface.

Adjust the front panel puck or knob to change the value.
Double-click a value field and enter a value from the keypad, followed by the correct
terminator.
4. Select the Start Frequency or Start Power field and enter a value. This is the frequency or
power setting of the first step in the sweep.

power setting of the last step in the sweep.
6. Select the Number of steps field and enter a value. (The default is 201 and the maximum is

number, resulting in the number of individual instrument settings that the instrument makes
when progressing through the sweep range.

instrument stays at the specific settings for each step in the sweep range.
